Anglicanism - A personal view 我個人的見解
Anglicanism is the denominationalism of the Church of England and other church set up by her evangelism all over the World.
The church of England is the church of a country called England (not even Britain, UK), and not having a prior importance of naming it "The Assembly of God, or The Church of God".
It is an Earthly Church.
There is also the Church of Scotland from Scotland, named after a country/race/nation of Scottsman.
The Church of England was not regarded by protestants as a protestant church/denomination because of her heritage, creeds, leanings, system, and deeds, until the advent of Bishop J. C. Ryle of the 19th century, who preached much of evangelical sermons, which was regarded as biblical truths as that time.
Ryle himself did at some occasion speak against protestants being separatists from the Catholic(having the heritage of apostolic procession) church, expressing a sentiment of superiority of himself and the Church of England being a catholic church, as if this is Godly.
Ryle himself wore priestly robes in his Anglican service and preaching; setting himself apart as a priest (having a special position to intercede for believers) on Earth. The scriptures teaches that we are all royal priests (1Pet2v9) interceding for the people on Earth, even praying for and serving the unGodly.
Till now, no Anglican minister publicly denounce special priesthood and conduct worship and ceremonies without wearing any gown at all time/occasion.
Some Anglicans celebrate mass (vacarious service), and are proud that they have high church with Anglo-Catholics as well as low church resembling those of protestants.
No Anglican minister publicly excommunicates sin of the World from the church, even from their own congregation (1Jn 5v17).
No Anglican minister set himself apart from heretical associates. Liberals stand and sit together with Evangelicals.
All evangelical Anglican ministers lied about leaving the church if the church accepts women priesthood/ministers/bishops, and if the church accepts homo-sexuals and homo-sexual priests. All remained in the church at the time and after this organisation accepted homosexuals and women priests (James 4v4). Soon women bishops will rise to the arena with the embracment of the whole denomination.
This church therefore encourages homo-sexuality (by not denouncing such act as sin), which is clearly written in the Bible as a Sin God hates.
Serving God or serving men?The Church of England has the monarch of England as her head/supreme leader in human affairs. The King/Queen becomes the head of the church rather than just the head of the State.
The Anglican church has not denounced the sins of the monarch, such as the adultrous acts of Princess Dianna, and the unfaithfullness of Prince Charles. By doing so, the church passively approved their lawlessness as acceptable human acts (James 4v4,17).
The Anglican church also celebrates alcoholic wine diluted with water as part of her ceremony and takes leavened wafer for communion; violating the pattern set forth in the OT and the NT as a celebration of unleavened bread and wine(grape juice).
The organisation preaches staying with evil/the world and work within the people; having Evangelicals as well as Liberals (who exercise different degrees of unbelief with the Bible).
The bible teaches that the people of God must be Holy/set apart from the World, and stay away from evil (James 4v4; Ti 3v10; 2John v9,10).The Anglican church preaches and practice infant baptism/Christianing which is unbiblical.
Christians are fooled and made standing with non-Christians as the Anglican Church fall more and more in line with Ecumenism, heading right back into Roman Catholicism.
Anglicans preach and practice "Anarchy" which promotes self belief and expression, and claim that they do what is Biblical and right. However, it takes certain elements in onces code of conduct to be a member of a particular denomination.
For Anglicans, it would be the 39 articles, the belief in priesthood intercessors/leaders such as Vicars and Rectors. These simply are not faithful to Scriptural teachings.
Over half of Anglican worshippers back actively gay vicars
By Chris Hastings and Elizabeth Day
(Filed: 12/10/2003)More than half of all Church of England worshippers believe that practising homosexuals should be allowed to join the clergy and more than two thirds support the ordination of celibate homosexuals.
An ICM survey of 500 regular churchgoers, commissioned by The Telegraph, found that 52 per cent of those questioned supported the idea that active homosexuals should be ordained. An even greater number - 69 per cent - supported the admission of non-practising homosexuals into the clergy.
The results will be seized upon by liberals within the Church as proof that the ban on active homosexuals joining the Church is unpopular and out of date.
...To Archbishop Drexel Gomez, primate of the West Indies, the word sanctity is the same as holiness and should be reserved for marriage.
Within hours of the decision Gomez sent a message to conservative Anglicans saying, "It is completely unacceptable to Bible-believing orthodox Christians that same-sex unions are described as 'holy.'Anglican Essentials, a 10-year-old coalition of orthodox Anglicans who worked behind the scenes in encouraging synod delegates to approach issues from a biblical perspective, also issued a statement, saying they "repudiate and distance" themselves from the decision(General Synod's opinion). "Sanctity equals blessing," says Charlie Masters, Essentials national director.
Essentials leaders are urging conservative Anglicans not to leave the Anglican Church of Canada, however, but to work from within.
